Epec Oy’s forest machine information system and software product development unit in Kajaani to transfer to Ponsse Plc

The Boards of Directors of Ponsse Plc and Epec Oy have decided that Epec Oy’s forest machine information system and software product development unit located in Kajaani will transfer back to Ponsse Plc. Epec Oy’s operations will be centralised in Seinäjoki.

Epec Oy is Ponsse’s wholly owned subsidiary. It designs and manufactures control systems for mobile work machines, electronics and software for demanding conditions. Epec has designed and manufactured PONSSE information system products since 2004.

The transfer strengthens the companies’ ability to focus on their areas of core competence. The transfer enables even stronger development of information system products for PONSSE forest machines and Epec Oy’s increased focus on the needs of other work machine clients and therefore the company’s growth. Epec Oy will continue the manufacturing of PONSSE information system products.

The possible impacts of the arrangement on the personnel will be very limited. The planned transfer date is 1 May 2011.
